Join us on a night-time adventure into a playful world of imagination, a multi-sensory feast featuring contemporary dance, live music and immersive sound!

Come in your favourite PJs for a slumber party in a giant sleepover den. As darkness descends, we play in the spooky shadows, listen to night-time sounds, and feel the wind and rain on our faces as we encounter a storm. We meet friendly nocturnal creatures such as slithering slugs, magical moths and fantastical fireflies.

Discover the magic of the dark as we whirl and twirl, catch a shooting star and learn how to be brave at bedtime.

Relaxed performance: our 3.30pm show is a relaxed performance, this means there will be lower than usual sound levels, a chance to come and go, an introduction by cast members before the show, a time out space and an opportunity to view the den space before the show.
